1566 Pollinated at 13 Feet Today

I pollinated a 6 lober on the 1566 Rondonis at 13' today with 1385 Jutras but I'm not it is going to be a keeper. This female took 12 days to mature which is a long time. I'll watch to see how it grows and then decide if we want to keep it. There is another female at 14.5' that will be ready in 4-5 days that I'll pollinate and see how it does. In the mean time I've got the 10' pumpkin growing as a backup.

Went to the Wiz and Biz patch yesterday. They have some nice looking plants with pumpkins that were pollinated in the last week. There will be two or three big pumpkins coming out of that patch this year is my guess.
